+                A New Bat (Genus Myotis) From Mexico[1]
+
+                                   By
+
+                 WALTER W. DALQUEST AND E. RAYMOND HALL
+
+
+While one of us (Dalquest) was in a dugout canoe that was being paddled
+up a small unnamed tributary of the Rio Coatzacoalcos, through dense
+jungle, he grasped a decayed and termite damaged tree-trunk projecting
+approximately three feet above the surface of the water to steady the
+canoe. At that instant two bats were detected in one of the many small
+holes in the trunk, which was eight to nine inches in diameter. It was a
+simple matter to enlarge the hole and extract the animals. Superficially
+they resembled silvery-haired bats (_Lasionycteris_) but their naked
+interfemoral membranes and other features suggested that they belonged
+to the genus _Myotis_. Subsequently, study in the laboratory showed this
+to be the fact and revealed also that they are of an heretofore unnamed
+species which may be known as:
+
+
+                    #Myotis argentatus#, new species
+
+    _Type._--Male, adult, skin with skull, No. 19228, Mus. Nat.
+    Hist., Univ. Kansas; 14 kilometers southwest of Coatzocoalcos,
+    100 feet elevation, Veracruz, Mexico; 2 February 1947; obtained
+    by Walter W. Dalquest; original No. 7052.
+
+    _Range._--Known only from the type locality.
+
+    _Diagnosis._--Size medium for the genus (see measurements), tail
+    short; foot long; ears and membranes black; pelage long (maximum
+    length on middle of back 9 mm.) and black; upper parts with
+    overhairs tipped with whitish especially on rump; underparts
+    from posterior part of thorax posteriorly with all of the hairs
+    tipped with this same whitish color; skull with preorbital part
+    small in relation to brain case; teeth small in relation to
+    total area of palate; brain case much inflated; ventral margin
+    of foramen magnum evenly rounded.
+
+    _Comparison._--From _Myotis albescens_ (E. Geffroy) known to us
+    by specimens in the United States National Museum from Paraguay
+    (Tacural), Panama (Tabernilla), and Nicaragua (Prinzapolca R.
+    and Escondido R.), _argentatus_ differs in: Body and foot
+    longer; tail relatively shorter (57 and 58% of length of head
+    and body versus 76 (62-83)% in _albescens_); tibia shorter;
+    pelage longer, and black instead of brown; silver tipping of fur
+    on hinder back markedly more conspicuous; precranial part of
+    skull, when viewed from above, larger in relation to brain case;
+    postorbital constriction less abrupt, that is to say, skull
+    "longer-waisted"; occlusal surfaces of teeth of equal area and
+    therefore occupying a relatively smaller percentage of total
+    area of palatal surface; ventral margin of foramen magnum less
+    deeply indented; ventrally prominent part of basioccipital twice
+    as wide.
+
+_Remarks._--The relatively slight wear on the teeth of the female of _M.
+argentatus_ and the large ends on the bones of the wings indicate that
+it is immature. Its measurements, recorded below, average smaller than
+those of the adult holotype, a male, and the silvery tipping on the
+upper parts is almost lacking from the pelage which is shorter than in
+the holotype.
+
+    [Illustration: FIGS. 1-6. _Myotis_. From left to right, dorsal,
+    lateral and ventral views. All x 2.
+
+    FIGS. 1-3. _Myotis argentatus_, no. 19228, Univ. Kan. Mus. Nat.
+    Hist., type.
+
+    FIGS. 4-6. _Myotis albescens_, no. 105664, [F], U. S. Nat. Mus.,
+    from Tacuaral, Paraguay; obtained on November 13, 1900, by Wm.
+    T. Foster, orig. no. 128.]
+
+Among at least American kinds of _Myotis_, _argentatus_ is extreme in
+small area of occlusal surface of the upper molariform teeth in relation
+to the total area of the palatal surface of the skull. _M. albescens_
+previously was regarded as extreme in this feature. The distance across
+the third upper molars, from the outside of one tooth to the outside of
+the other, is 5.5 mm. in the holotype of _argentatus_ and 5.4 mm. in a
+specimen of corresponding age and sex of _albescens_. The distance
+between the third upper molars, from the lingual side of one tooth to
+the lingual side of the other, is 2.9 mm. in _argentatus_ and 2.8 mm. in
+_albescens_.
+
+In each of our two specimens there is no sagittal crest but instead a
+low ridge one millimeter wide which marks the space between the margins
+of the two temporal muscles.
+
+Allusion already has been made to the resemblance of the newly named
+_Myotis argentatus_ to the silvery-haired bat, _Lasionycteris
+noctivagans_ (LeConte). The whitish tips of the hairs are slightly more
+yellowish in _argentatus_ but the difference is so slight as to be
+detected by only the most careful comparison. The remainder of the
+pelage in _argentatus_ is black as in the darkest individuals of
+_Lasionycteris_.
+
+Among named kinds of the genus _Myotis_, the species _argentatus_ most
+closely resembles _Myotis albescens_ which, up to now has been recorded
+from as far south as Argentina, in South America, and as far north as
+Nicaragua, in Central America (Miller and Allen, Bull. U. S. Nat. Mus.,
+144:202, 203, 1928). The differences detected between the two species
+are indicated above in the paragraph of comparisons and some other
+differences can be detected by comparing measurements given below with
+those of _M. albescens_ as recorded by Miller and Allen (_op. cit._:
+204-205). In initial comparisons with _albescens_, only Paraguayan
+specimens were employed. It was felt that specimens of _albescens_ from
+the northernmost localities of occurrence might more closely resemble
+_argentatus_. Accordingly, we appealed a second time to Dr. A. R.
+Kellogg for comparative material and he lent us the specimens
+(alcoholics with skulls separate) in the U. S. National Museum from
+Central America. These also differ from our newly named bat in the same
+fashion as do the South American specimens. Further, the number and
+magnitude of the differences between _albescens_ and _argentatus_
+greatly exceed any that can be pointed to between the American
+subspecies of any other one full species of the genus _Myotis_. Full
+specific, rather than mere subspecific, status, therefore, is suggested
+for the bat here named _Myotis argentatus_.
+
+    _Measurements._--The adult, male type, and the immature female
+    specimen measure, respectively, as follows: Head and body, 55,
+    51 mm.; tail, 32, 29; tibia, 13.7, 13.2; foot, 8, 9; forearm,
+    33.0, 34.5; thumb, 5.8, 5.7; third metacarpal, 32.2, 30.5;
+    fifth metacarpal, 31.5, 30.3; greatest length of skull, 14.5,
+    14.0; condylobasal length, 13.8, 13.0; zygomatic breadth, 9.1,
+    9.0; interorbital constriction, 4.3, 4.0; breadth of brain case,
+    7.5, 7.4; occipital depth, 5.7, 5.7; mandible, 10.5, 10.0;
+    maxillary tooth row, 5.3, 5.0; maxillary breadth at M3, 5.5,
+    5.7; mandibular tooth row, 5.6, 5.3.
+
+    _Specimens examined._--Two, from the type locality.
+
+  _Transmitted October 20, 1947._

+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate

+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
